We went down to UVU a couple of weekends ago to go to the Family Festival they were holding there. My brother even came over to meet us since he lives down the street from UVU. When we first got there the boy scouts and other leaders were there selling pinewood derby kits and had a huge track that had a loop in it as well that people were able to use to race their cars. Doug and Wyatt made a car while we were there and raced it. Wyatt's wheels were a little bit off so it didn't quite make it around the look the first time. We worked on it a bit more and raced it again later and it did great!! Wyatt gets a family pass through his school to attend the festival. It is really a lot of fun. When we enter the festival Wyatt is given a packet that has $5 of paper money that he gets to use to go towards games, bouncy houses, food, etc. They have booths set up for the kids to earn more dollars as they go. If they deposit their $5 at a bank at the event for 20 minutes, the bank will double it up to $10. Wyatt earned quite a few dollars that day by going to all of the stations and investing his money. He played games and raced his pinewood derby car. He even received a badge/patch from the scout troop that was there for racing his car. At the end if the kids have any extra dollars left they can either take some of them to an actual bank and trade it in for $5 in their account at that bank or they can donate their dollars to an organization like KUED 11 where the dollars that are donated get traded in for actual money from the bank which is really neat. Wyatt donated his money to the KUED 11 station because he really likes some of the kids shows they have. In the picture Wyatt was standing next to cut outs of Daniel Tiger and Super Why. It was really fun time.
